You are probably wondering why I would title this Ground Hog
Day? Well no special reason other than it has come and gone and I am just now
getting around to updating you about SIT’s happenings.
Christmas was nice as it was the first time we were in our
home for the holidays since December 2012. We had Steve’s Dad and a close
family friend over for Christmas dinner. It was nice to have them here and we
got to enjoy their company a few times over the rest of the holiday season.
A Nice Evening Out
We have been busy with doing small projects at home and even
getting a round of golf in once in a while this winter. For the most part it
has been very mild so we have been able to keep the waterfall going.
It is nice as we are about the only spot with running water in
the neighborhood so we are getting a lot of bird activity. I think I have
counted 5 different species splashing around at one time.
Splish Splash I Was Taking A Bath
Doves Staying Warm
One day this guy decided to take a rest and hung out for at
least 10 minutes. I had to leave so I don’t know how long he had the lace to
himself.
Speaking of birds, Steve has been busy rebuilding a couple
of the birdhouses we have and he built a new one. He is quite crafty and
learning more about what birds like for their homes. He might create a B and B
for them!!
Refreshed
Bird house makeover!
My most recent project was giving an old nightstand a
makeover. Steve sanded off all of the varnish and paint on the top and the
drawer front but decided it wasn’t worth doing the rest of it. That didn’t
matter to me as I had a vision for the furniture piece. It now sits in our
upstairs and will be my partner in doing my artwork.
Much Better
Done!
February has also brought some winter weather but Izzy still
gets her run most days. It really is more about Steve being able to bundle up
enough to ride the motorcycle. He is a trooper!
We have a few other things up our sleeves and as always I
will share when the time is right! Oh and don’t worry, Izzy has been keeping an
eye on us as we hang out in Idaho!
